Cobalt 206 Starting Issue

Hello,

My 2000 206, Mercruiser 5.7 FI, Bravo 3 was running great all day. Sat for a few hours and wouldn't turn over with the key. Both batteries were hot and we were able to jump the solenoid and the key would then start the boat. Headed back to the dock whenever I tried to accelerate past 1/3 ...

Trailer Fit ?

-Move keel boards in
-Install vertical bunks outside
-New rollers
-Are side boards needed?

First Boat 00' 206, 5.7l Merc, Bravo 3

Wife and I are excited first time owners of this beaut w/309 hours! Looking for a slip on Beaver (lol) and will trailer until then. Any tips, especially model-specific, for first timers appreciated.
